Fitz when she was a Pro Kickboxer

Q. Hi Fitz, I have a question for you if you don’t mind.  I was wondering….in your opinion, which is better for you? Running on a treadmill or spinning. I used to run all of the time, then I went back to spinning and I love it. I was wondering if it was a better choice for toning and calorie loss.  Thanks. Liz
A. Hi Liz! Great question. I think they’re both fantastic forms of exercise which provide cardiovascular benefits, a great calorie burn and a super workout for your muscles. The benefit running has over spinning is that it’s high impact which is great for your bones (allthough too much of it could be bad for your bones – weird huh?) My suggestion? Do both! Either way, you can’t lose anything except for pounds! Hope that helps – now get to work!

Punches & Kicks,
Fitz
